SKINAGAIN :: Dermavibe Healing Cream

If you know anything at all about physics, you'll know that every living thing is suffused with energy and each individual plant & animal resonates with its own unique vibrational pattern. These energy frequencies are said to contain healing elements that when harnessed in the right way and instilled in a carrier of some kind, can infuse their restorative effects into your skin. Much like the way Homeopathy works, this new skincare line from SKINAGAIN uses state-of-the-art computerized technology called Dermavibe, to capture over 300+ energy frequencies ranging from bach flowers to aloe vera to crystals, which are then transferred into a metallic conductor at the bottom of a healing serum. Said to literally get your skin humming and provide visible results, every application delivers the healing benefits of each plant, flower, mineral or crystal source specifically selected to address certain skin issues. Homeopathics have used healing energies to cure all kinds of ailments for decades and while I can't personally attest to having much success with them, I can certainly understand the science. Skin trick or skin treat? That's up to you to decide... Writer :: Emma Pezzack - www.futurenatural.com: the best organic beauty products in the world.

One thing's for sure, there's no shortage of verdant creative energy and dynamic spirit in this NYC enclave, and The Bubble Roome bath & body products are yet another example of why I love Brooklyn. David E. Johnston is a self-confessed 'Purveyor of goodness and product junkie' who began The Bubble Roome by making soaps as gifts for friends - needless to say those friends loved them so much, he has now expanded his skills & product lines to include such skin-tasty treats as Brown Sugar Scrubs, Triple Butter Creams and 100% Goodness Bars. Reading more like your favorite candy selection it's hard to resist the delicious, handmade line-up and the great news is, you don't have to. Chock full of organic & natural ingredients with nothing artificial or harmful (and with 50's influenced packaging that looks just as good on your shelves as the products feel on your skin), you don't have any excuses not to indulge.

Shamelessly self-indulgent when it comes to self-pampering rituals, I'm a major fan of anything that beautifies my day whether it's spraying my sheets at night with a sleep inducing, instantly relaxing organic mist, or using an organic shower gel in the morning that kick starts my day with more stimulation than a double espresso! We all know that plants do more than just smell pretty and the new line of premier Body Care from Because Skincare is a fine example of a carefully conceived, beautifully formulated collection of body products - Because good skincare is not just for your face! The 'Skin Is Thirsty Hydrating Body Cleanser' is a serious contender to knock legendary Ren Morrocan Body Wash off its mantle with a scent that rivals a powdery rose garden on a warm day, and another of my faves is the 'Healing is Believing Daily Relief Cream' that heals & soothes even the most parched winter extremes. With a mix of wild-harvested, organic & natural ingredients (and of course the obligatory no harmful chemicals), and product ranging from body cleansers to body exfoliators, this line is worth trying. Why? Because, I said so. Writer :: Emma Pezzack - www.futurenatural.com: the best organic beauty products in the world.

How brilliantly just, that he should have the last laugh as one of the world's most successful and widely respected organic brands. Using only the finest certified organic & natural ingredients combined with an extremely savvy approach to formulation, there is a focus on sustainable, fair trade and conscious business practices that few companies can match. Although they've been around for years, the simple, clean, honest and modern design has never lost its appeal. Shine On is a natural, leave-in hair treatment that uses organic kelp in place of synthetic silicone, smoothing the hair shaft & giving a gorgeous shine and great volume, without weighing hair down or creating oily build-up. Excellent to strengthen and fortify all hair types including fine hair. The result is supernatural shine & softness, all day – every day. Shine on baby!

Since then I've discovered more and more hair care companies who are taking up the challenge to develop botanical alternatives. Most of these vegetable & plant counterparts don't actually infiltrate the hair shaft, they coat it with color resulting in less damage, noticibly more shine and stronger hair - not to mention healthier scalp. But the latest and greatest from Advanced Cosmetic Technologies (ACT) goes even further by using 100% plant based color and a patent pending technique that creates a highly purified end product. The process uses special extraction techniques to physically separate the colors from the plant matter which they then mix with natural mineral salts to make their unique permanent hair color. The molecules of this plant matter are so small that they penetrate the hair shaft naturally and gently, without forcing the hair shaft open through chemical processes. At $29.95 it's hardly a steal, nonetheless it's at least half of what you'd pay to get your hair color done in a salon and you have to ask yourself - at what true cost is that?

The active ingredient is Sea Buckthorn Fruit in which lies a rare combo of Omega oils to promote cardiovascular health, improve skin and hair quality, and even brain cell health. Rich in a variety of antioxidants - vitamins A, B1, B2, C, D and E as well as more obscure vitamins such as K and P, it provides a complex network of free radical fighting, bioactive ingredients that act quickly & effectively. Tackle your beauty issues from the inside out and drink up! Writer :: Emma Pezzack - www.futurenatural.com: the best organic beauty products in the world.

Lesser known is that she's just launched a gorgeous new organic makeup collection under the moniker RMS Beauty - and I couldn't be happier to announce this latest addition to the world of organic & natural beauty! As a makeup expert she's often asked about brands she'd recommend, but having recently dealt with health issues & understanding the implications of toxic chemicals in our beauty products, she realized there were none. The resulting epiphany sparked the creation of this beautiful new color line that uses live organic ingredients, mineral colors and Rose-Marie's vast experience with makeup to produce formulations that actually work. There are no synthetics, petrochemcials, parabens or other nasties. In fact, there's no artificial anything. I've tried almost the entire line and every product delivered on expectations. Flushes of color for lips & cheeks, bursts of luminosity for skin, unstudied & natural eyes... and everything super densely pigmented so a tiny amount goes a loooong way. The packaging is elegant, simple, clean and everything is packaged in frosted glass which has the dual purpose of protecting the ingredients, as well as being able to be recycled. I'm a MAJOR fan and have no doubt others are lining up as we speak. Writer :: Emma Pezzack - www.futurenatural.com: the best organic beauty products in the world.

The choices for women have become saturated along with products for babies, not a bad thing when you consider how much impact natural & organic beauty brands are having in the market. However, the category aimed at anyone in between is usually the realm of glittery, plastic, petrochemical, artificial color & flavor, toxic makeup POISON. It’s a nightmare to find something not too adult and not too young with cool design and completely natural formulation. Not anymore! New brand on the block, ‘Good For You Girls’ is 100% natural with no toxic chemicals and nothing harmful. Plus the packaging is sooooooo cute. Designed specifically for young skin, the complete starter kit contains everything your daughter or BFF needs to put her best face forward! Good, clean, honest skincare and at only $24.99 for the set that includes Gel Cleanser, Toner & Moisturizer, you know what we’re thinking… just in time for xmas!

I have hair that happily resides in 'neither here nor there' land when it comes to attributes and seems to have a mind of its own: oily & flat at the roots but some days I get amazing root lift; dry ends that are fragile no matter how many 6wk hair cuts I maintain; easily straightened but immediately ruined by humidity; some days does exactly what I want and others not... I curse that I was not one of the fortunate (and rare?) people who has 'normal' hair! However, I was recently sent a sample of the new Aveda Smooth Infusion Style Prep Smoother and not only am I loving it, so is my hair. It protects against heat & humidity for up to 12hrs, applies super lightweight and doesn't feel as though I'm either coating my hair in an oil slick, or weighing it down with too much product, plus I can use it before drying & styling and after to get rid of frizzies and seal ends. It may or may not be the hair Holy Grail but it's workin' for this girl! PS... there's also an entire Smooth Infusion line, in case you're interested.

It is proof in a world where we are always looking for the next great innovation that natural ingredients and a kick-butt formula win every time. That’s why I love Farmaesthetics Nourishing Lavender Milk, which uses only eight ingredients to nourish, hydrate, and soothe skin, a true rarity in this day and age. While lavender works to scent and condition, soy and calendula simultaneously act to even skin tone and soothe skin that is damaged, chapped, or just plain sensitive. Not too heavy but moisturizing enough to last for hours, this gentle and non-synthetic formula can be used anywhere on skin or baby to provide a little bit of lavender scented softness. A true multitasker, Lavender Milk works just as well for use in massages as it does as an everyday lotion, due to its slippery texture. Girls in the know like Victoria Kirby, Beauty Editor at Allure Magazine, voted it one of her favorite beauty products. Simple and effective? More than that... a modern miracle. www.futurenatural.com: the best organic beauty products in the world.

I don't know if I have raging mosquito pheromones happening but I'm like a beacon of lip smacking goodness, which in summer, drives me insane. It's a constant mission to find something to kill the insects effectively while not killing myself by using a toxic product like Deet. Enter incognito (which is exactly what I hope to become to mosquitoes by applying this stuff)! Touted as an eco-friendly, anti-insect camouflage, the fresh, pleasant smelling incognito products use a blend of 100% natural ingredients with organically certified citronella, found on the island of Java & reported to be more effective than any other for repelling mozzies. How it works? Just as humans are attracted to each other's pheromones, insects are attracted to their hosts by kairomones, one of which is carbon dioxide. The more you emit, the more attractive you are. incognito works by masking these kairomones, thus cloaking or camouflaging and protecting us like an invisibility shield. All soap packaging is made from biodegradeable Saa paper, made from sustainable mulberry bark harvested in fair trade conditions by impoverished Thai women. Consider me armed & dangerous this summer!

Olive oil has been used for thousands of years for eating & cooking. And lest no part of this miracle plant go unnoticed, olive leaf extracts are one of nature's most potent antioxidants - up to 100 times more powerful than echinacea for boosting immunity. You can freeze it, burn it or cut it down, and the Olive Tree always reappears. The leaves stay on olive trees for seven years and develop a waxy coating for protection against harsh climate conditions that when scraped back, after all that time, reveal a bright-green, young leaf underneath! Conceived and created by Laurent Baussan, son of L'Occitane (no introduction needed) founder Olivier Baussan, the Oliv laboratories have found the secret to skin longevity in the olive leaf, then combined it with the moisturizing properties of green tea, edelweiss & aloe vera to produce this new organic skincare collection called Oliv. The concentrated and active organic complex provides the protection our skin needs from free radicals, but also helps to protect from cellular stress, stimulating cell regeneration. The Radiance Elixir is literally an elixir of life for stressed skins, the multitasking Lip & Eye Contour Treatment is highly effective, the Aloe Soothing Moisturizing Mist will be a must-have for these summer months coming up and the rest of the Oliv line is no less noteworthy for its potency. Certified organic & natural, this amazing new line is available exclusively at www.futurenatural.com: the best organic beauty products in the world.

So when FURTHER Hand Soap passed over my desk, I sat up like I'd just seen God. Here's the scoop: Megan, a former event planner for Vogue, meets Marshall a bio-diesel making, reusable shopping bag lover and falls in love. One day Megan walks into their garage to find her grease covered soul mate has accumulated a TON of glycerin, a by-product of the bio-fuel distillation he's been actively engaging in to run their own vehicles, at which point she graciously points out he needs to clean up his act. Given Marshalls mission to find a productive use for everything, he of course was NOT going to throw the glycerin out. The epiphany: To take things one step FURTHER and convert the waste glycerin into a fabulous line of Hand Soap using a signature scent of Bergamot, Olive and exotic grasses. Clean, fresh and sweetly aromatic, the soap ends up in the bathrooms of the very restaurants from which the glycerin originated, creating a perfect, sustainable circle! I love it!! You too can buy their soap at www.furthersoap.com. What a fabulous story and what an inspiration on how to rethink the way we tackle waste.

C’mon, be honest! Having recently tried Rare El’ements and experiencing glossy, healthy, strong, shiny hair in place of my usual frizzy, slightly dry, fine locks, I’m a new convert to the world of anti-aging hair care. Rare El’ements set out to revolutionize the mainstream hair care industry by creating products that combine natural luxury with the same performance that salon professionals depend on, and in my opinion, they succeeded. This breakout collection is tailored to replenish and repair the damage caused by everyday styling & chemical services, pampering each hair strand with pure botanicals, moisture drenching rainforest butters, nutrient-rich nut oils and the energy giving aroma of essential oil fragrances. Rare El’ements searched the world for opulent, raw resources that would encourage the hair to mend naturally, offering a fresh and effective perspective on luxury hair care. Using 100% natural & naturally derived ingredients, there are no harmful synthetics, artificial fragrances, parabens, sulphates or other suspected toxins - just revolutionary products that are luxurious, chic, eco-friendly and socially responsible.

All the color & shimmer comes from mica & minerals to give your skin a beautiful, healthy radiance. The scent, consisting of franjipani & coconut, transports me sweetly & deliciously to a tropical island, without being overwhelming... YUM!

Daylesford Farm in the UK, owned by Lady Bamford and her gazillionaire property mogul husband, is a shining example of organic farming at its' finest, with a clear focus on local, sustainable and the finest quality money can buy. Not content with simply growing their own food, developing their own gourmet food lines, and setting up an uber chic but unpretentious organic cafe (frequented by the likes of Kate Moss), Lady Bamford developed a new bath, body and baby collection called simply Bamford, that is about as good as it gets in the body care realm. If you're concerned about what you put on the skin of you and yours, and you have a penchant for luxurious products that have a beautiful aesthetic (plus they work, most importantly!)... you'll love this line.
